Description of the property

HOUSE
WITH HISTORY

THE STORY OF THE BUILDING

Dzirnavu Street 53 was constructed in 1898 and has lived through the centuries and difficult historical events. The building has also accommodated famous writers, politicians, and philosophers. The walls of the apartments are saturated with the scent of history, yet renovated with a modern touch.

Preserving the unique architectural heritage of Edmund von Trompovisk's style, the building has been completely renovated, well-maintained, and, thanks to its historical significance, included in the Latvian Cultural Heritage Foundation.

The facade of the building combines eclecticism and Art Nouveau, just like the name - romanticism and philosophy. In the 1930s, the building was home to the talented German philosopher and master of literature Walter Benjamin, whose works inspired 53 Dzirnavu Street to be named after him - Benjamin Romance.

INTERIOR

Quoting the world-famous philosopher W. Benjamin, "What’s forgotten... Has never truly been individual," it can be affirmed that the building embodies high quality, functionality, and aesthetic design, as it is always distinguished, well-maintained, and remembered.

The renovation and interior design of the apartments respect the uniqueness of the building and harmoniously integrate the modern with the historic. Access to the apartments has been modernised and can be unlocked with a key, numeric code, fingerprint or facial recognition.

Each apartment surprises with its refined elegance and allure. The apartments vary in size, ranging from spacious (approximately 140m2) to compact (30m2), but each one embodies a touch of romance and enjoyment overlooking the roofs of Riga city.

EXTERIOR

The facade of the building has been renovated, preserving the unique style of the architect Edmund von Trompowiske and the various Art Nouveau elements, while creating a harmonious and modern appearance. The large window openings provide abundant natural light in the interior spaces and give the facade a great appearance and functionality.

The dominant colours of the facade - light orange and creamy white - create a warm and energetic feeling. The combination of colours provides visual contrast and attracts attention, giving the building a memorable character.
